WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT EAST 17TH
My office is near Union Square and this is my go-to breakfast every morning. The Brooklyn Gino sandwich is incredible — pepper crusted sirloin on a fresh bagel. Nothing else compares.
Best bagels near Union Square, period. I've tried every spot in the area and TSB is head and shoulders above. The cream cheeses are all house-made and you can taste the difference.
Love grabbing a bagel here before the Greenmarket on Saturdays. The everything bagel with veggie cream cheese is my ritual. Staff is always friendly even during the rush.
Moved to Gramercy last year and this place is a 5-minute walk. Real hand-rolled bagels — chewy, dense, perfectly baked. The breakfast burrito is also amazing.
Great spot for a quick lunch too. The tuna salad is house-made and really good. Gets busy around noon but the line moves fast.
Ordered catering for our office meeting and it was a huge hit. Fresh bagels, variety of cream cheeses, and everything arrived on time. Will definitely order again.
